Toronto Cop Pleads Guilty in Corruption Probe | Canada News

A Toronto cop just admitted to stealing over $5K and betraying public trust—part of a massive corruption probe called Project South. The scandal centers on Derek McCormick, who allegedly helped fellow officer Timothy Barnhardt acquire burner phones while ignoring proper lost property procedures. Barnhardt faces 17 charges, including drug trafficking and bribery, with claims he shared sensitive info with international criminals. McCormick, now resigned, didn’t know the full scope of Barnhardt’s alleged crimes—just that he was getting him phones. This case exposes deep rot in the force as authorities push to clean house.
